The transportation of dangerous goods is a highly regulated industry, and understanding the basics of these regulations is essential for anyone involved in the industry. 

The Transport of Dangerous Goods Act (TDG) in Canada sets out the requirements for transporting hazardous materials safely and responsibly. It covers all aspects of transport, from classification and labelling to packaging and documentation.

It is important to understand how dangerous goods are classified according to their nature, as this will determine how they must be handled and transported. 

The TDG also outlines the requirements for packaging, marking, labeling, documentation and reporting on dangerous goods shipments. By understanding these regulations, companies can ensure that they are complying with safety standards when transporting hazardous materials.
